Bougicord

For 60 years, the Bougicord brand has been synonymous with high-quality ignition systems and parts.

In 1959, the French company Electricfil patented new ignition lead technology – the Bougicord suppressor ignition cable. This made use of spiral core technology, with wire wound at 50 turns per centimeter on a ferro-magnetic core.

In 1975, the company went on to launch the first wound sensors, and in the 1990s, it launched the first ignition coils.

Electricfil, now called the EFI Automotive Group, has created separate brands to focus on its sensors and other products. Bougicord remains the name of the brand specialising in ignition.

In 1979, the company began importing and assembling Bougicord ignition lead sets in South Africa.

Today, Bougicord supplies a number of leading original equipment manufacturers. Among these are Citroen, Daewoo, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, Renault and Volvo.

At Masterparts, we’re proud to supply Bougicord ignition leads in South Africa.
